Well if you don’t want to install a wp setup on your web but would like to see what that particular plugin has to offer? you can actually do that now with the help of Addendio.

This is a free tool for WordPress users that lets you Test WordPress Plugins Without Installing and try thousands of plugins for free through an online web app. All you have to do is search for the plugin you want and click the blue “Try now” button.

When you select a plugin, Addendio opens a new window to select the WordPress sandbox environment. You can pick the WP version and the language of the install, and it asks for your email address, too.

The sandbox is created automatically, so you don’t need to check your inbox for the link. However, you cannot use throw away emails because the system blocks those automatically.

By default, each new sandbox lasts 15 minutes before destroying itself. You can increase this time up to 60 minutes if you register a free account with Addendio.

Each sandbox takes about a minute to set up, then you get links to the main site & admin panel, along with the login credentials.
